About Laura Hackett
Testimonial
I have been a voice student of Laura's for almost 3 years. Because I live nearly an hour away, she's been very flexible with my busy schedule. She's a great vocal instructor. My voice has grown so much the last three years that I've strongly considered a musical theater career.
If you're looking for a career in music she'll help you get there and beyond. One day when I'm accepting my Academy Award, Laura will be on my list of people to thank.
